Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9820742A1] Disclosed is a food product having at least one distinct phase and a process and apparatus for producing such a product wherein a blend of ingredients, having a moisture content, is extruded in separate streams (16a, 16b), and a coloring, flavoring or texturizing agent (20) is added to the extruded streams at a predetermined point. The streams are re-combined and then passed through a static mixer zone (28) which produces minimal mixing while allowing a smooth separation and a proper flow into a die insert (32) such as a shaping die.
